Count Alexander Dmitrievich Sheremetev (1859-1931) came from a prominent family long known for its patronage of the musical arts. An amateur musician, he briefly served as Director of the Imperial Court Chapel in St. Petersburg. This edition of his majestic composition "Now the Powers of Heaven" (the Cherubic Hymn for the Lenten Liturgy of Pre-Sanctified Gifts) was produced by Musica Russica in response to numerous requests from choral conductors around the world. (Also available in its original voicing for mixed choir.)
